Korean Movie Night: 19 나의 19세 (2009) Korean

TOP, Seungri, Huh E Jae

Movie rating: 6/10     Neck rating: A-

We've been meaning to watch this show for ages because TOP and Seungri.  It's the typical coming of age movie with a twist, because it's about three 19 year old kids who are suspected of killing this girl.  They panic and run, and are naturally forced to come to terms with themselves and grow up.  TOP is a bit of a punk, who of course dreams of being a rapper, but is a loser in his family.  Seungri is a little rich boy who can't even talk to girls and is pushed around by his parents.  Huh E Jae was a poor girl whose mom was dying and so she dropped out if school.  They all had ties to the girl and had to come to terms with how they could have helped her, but didn't, so they weren't blameless.  It's got coming of age oozing out of it.  Seungri was so cute being an awkward kid.  Also, I loved how Big Bang promoting it is, and I could just watch TOP rapping all day, so I loved that it was super Big Bangy.  It was cheesy and dramatic, but pretty funny and fun to watch.  So good, if you like Big Bang.  PS, that minus is for TOP's bad hair.

Angel Eyes and Heavenly Bodies

This show was designed to make us cry.  I didn't use to be a crier, but Bollywood and old age has changed that.  Now shows like Angel Eyes are sending me off every episode.  Seriously, stop messing with the moms.  They aren't allowed to die and stuff, man!  If there ever was a plot so highly based on the bad fate between a group of people, then this is it.  It was handled as well as a fateful plot can be, but the drama was very extreme.

However, at least this gave us other things as well.  Lots of mens with heavenly, heavenly bodies.

Kim Ji Suk.  Rawr.

90. Angel Eyes 엔젤 아이즈 (2014) Korean

Ku Hye Sun, Lee Sang Yoon, Kim Ji Suk, Seungri

Drama Rating: 6/10     Neck Score: A

A drama designed just to make you cry.  The fate between this group of people in this town is crazy.  That aside, I think the drama itself was well written and that the people themselves at least acted like most people would... except Soo Wan (Ku Hye Sun).  She went a little annoying and cray cray.  I loved the mens in the show.  Lee Sang Yoon and Kim Ji Suk are both hot men.  I wished their bromance hadn't been tainted by the woman... and that fate thing.  They could have been better closer friends (as seen from that what could have been episode part).  Sad day.  The sound track gets an A+ as does the amount of brooding shower scenes.  Also, Seungri steals the show as soon as the drama gets intense... well, he steals the show from the start.  He is so adorable, in face and character.
